THE EXERCISE - CANCER LINK
Exercise has long been recognized as an important way to reduce one’s risk of developing cancer. Recently, studies have found encouraging evidence that exercise after diagnosis decreased the recurrence of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. However, the mechanisms contributing to these reductions are not known and need research supports.
